Welcome back to the Fame Game. Very big episode. Excuse the audio mom. I know you're a big audio person and there's a little background noise. We have some of our fellow fire victims that we invited to have some tacos and skinny margaritas on our dirt lot. That was our house one year ago today. So we are podcasting January 7, 2026. Very emotional day. Actually the hardest. I almost cried was in the car driving to our rally or our protest or our gathering, whatever you want to call it. But it was the first time in a year that I actually felt connected to so many people and knew exactly how I Felt, which was some of the best energy I've been able to experience in over a year. Because it felt great to be amongst people that know exactly what my heart and my brain have been feeling for the last year. Your speech. In the future, I will definitely not have you do a speech before I do a speech because I don't need to get extra emotional before. I'm already trying to keep it together and do my speech. And you got me, like, I'm like, almost covered my ears. I was like, I'm not hearing Heidi anymore.
- [03:42]
C
Yeah, I agree. It felt so good being amongst our village, our community, our people again. And, you know, where we had chosen to live, the people we love, the people we relate to the most, the people we know the best. I mean, we live in a community now where we're strangers. And to come back to, you know, the people here that we love so much, it was really good confirmation for me too. I'm like, I want to move back. Like, we gotta fight and keep fighting to move back. And we will make it happen because we love our friends and we love our community. And this is where we're meant to be. This is where you grew up. This is where our kids want to be. This is where we belong. This is our town. So regardless if they let us burn or not, we will rebuild it and we will be strength, you know, strong and resilient and be able to come back. So it was. It was so liberating to be able to feel that and to have that community and to. To finally feel like we were part of a community for the first time in a year and not strangers in some foreign place. So that felt really good. And Spencer had a huge announcement.
- [04:49]
D
That's right. If you watched last week's episode, you would already know I was announcing my run for LA mayor and we already had Mayor Karen.
- [04:58]
C
Huge cheers.
- [04:59]
D
Mayor Karen Bass is already responding. You know, we won't even give her air.
- [05:02]
C
There were thousands of people there and everyone was screaming and cheering and supporting you. And that was unbelievable. It looked like one of the most liberating, powerful power by the community and the actual people. Not this fake support, not this bought off support, this real, heartfelt, genuine support. Everyone was going wild and they know.
- [05:26]
D
My heart and they know this is the last thing I want to be doing. I want to be back a year ago today in my house, feeding hummingbirds, going down the street to my little local movie theater with my son, waiting for the next Netflix PG movie. And that's why I know people who Know me and know my heart. Know that I'm not doing this because I want to. And it's actually feels like a punishment, like homework. But, you know, I don't want more people's houses to burn down. I don't want our streets covered in homeless people smoking fentanyl. And we call them homeless people. They're just drug addicts at this point. So, um, yeah, I am very excited for the next year of this campaign and today's podcast, we're going to have some. Some local legends, you know, breaking news, celebrity from the Palisades. Nicole Diaco Burgess. Before she was Burgess, though, she was famous in this town as a diaco. So we must credit that last name as well. Nicole, this is your time to tell everybody what you have done dealt with in the last year, because I've gotten a few texts and.
- [06:38]
C
Wait a minute. First, let's go back. How long have you guys known each other? You grew up together. Let's 10 minutes of Nicole.
- [06:46]
E
I'm gonna give you the abridged version. Spencer and I have known each other since beginning of high school. Different schools, same P town, locals, a lot of the same friends. We still have a lot of the same friends, dated each other's friends, have grown up, you know, through thick and thin and managed to claw our way somehow miraculously back to this beloved town that our parents were so generous to allow us to grow up in. And so we found ourselves back here, I think, as adults after college, grad school, finding significant others, kids, et cetera, and I think reconnected on that level that, oh, wow, now we're adults with kids and kids who are playing soccer together and Gunner and Donovan and all these things and sharing a lot of mutual best friends. And so I think all of this, you know, in fact, you were my first. You were one of the first people I talked to during the fire. We FaceTimed each other. I don't know if you remember.
- [07:49]
D
I don't, but okay, I will tell you. Please remind me how it went.
- [07:52]
E
I was sitting on one of my best friend Eileen Ahas roofs and she's at Galloway. We thought that's where we evacuated to because we thought it would never get to the lower Alphabet streets. You FaceTime me and we were on her roof and you were showing me your street right here that we're sitting in front of with beautiful tacos and margaritas, I might add. And we were just talking about what was coming towards us. And I was showing you my view and you were showing me your view and I was like Spencer, you got to get the fuck out of there and we're leaving here right now. And you were like. And you were like had multi cameras. I feel like things going on trying to get all the perspectives which was very smart in hindsight. And that was one of my. I talked to Eilee about it all the time. I'm like do you remember us FaceTiming Spencer when we thought that your place was our evacuation zone? It would never get down there to Eilies to is which was in the Alphabet streets which is now the most decimated place of the entire Palisades.
- [08:57]
D
Or Yeah, it's like we were talking about with Soderbergh. He loaded up all of our Heidi's kids clothes and drove it to my parents house which.
- [09:07]
E
The safe zone. Yeah, yeah. And so I will say I'm gonna, I'm gonna give you the, the, the real buttoned up version of the last year which is I feel like I've been in fight or flight for 12 months. I didn't shed a tear the first like two weeks and really held it together. I was sober. I was like just really trying to hold together every ounce of my being for my children. My husband travels for work. He lives away six, seven months of the year. He was living in London. So I evacuated without him, hospital down without him. And I really felt like I was like in this. You say Diaco. My dad was like an actual surgeon but like he was surgical with how he handled emergencies. So I really. And he passed away and I really felt like I had this like thing come over me where I was like, you are not going to break down until you absolutely can. So it took me several months to break down. But in the last several months to Spencer's point, I have reached out about bureaucracy, red tape, complete negligence. We've been exchanging photos about things the day of perspectives from where I live, where you live, where everyone else lives. I will say we've had our permits for three and a half, four months and we are still fighting with homeowners association with people whose homes have not burned down over 3 inches of our roof line. They don't want us to rebuild if we don't rebuild a home from the.
- [10:34]
C
1950S also to that point, you have to do the 3 inches because they had to dig 3 inches of dirt a foot.
- [10:42]
D
Toxic soil actually.
- [10:44]
C
Exact same size roof. Right.
- [10:46]
E
And well, our city passed us at 15:5. We lowered our roof to 14:3 and we dug 12 inches out of our, our slab. So do the math. Which I'm an English person, but, you know, if you just crunch those numbers, we're definitely lower than before. But our roof line is a slightly different shape. So one neighbor who's in the homeowners is not like that.
- [11:11]
C
But none of this should even be an issue. None of this should be an issue.
- [11:13]
E
Or they passed us. And that should be the biggest red tape that I go through, right in this, which we've already talked about, has already been such a total shit show. So I don't want to be dealing with any of it. But what I will say about all of us in our community and us sitting here on your lot and even talking in this way, which has been so cathartic, is just to get back to a place, I think, where we're all in the same community and doing something social is, we're coming back, we're rebuilding. I have faith and hope for the future. But honestly, out of a lot of what you guys said today and all the people that spoke, there's like, so much that has to get tackled, and it's really daunting because it's like, who's going to do it? Like, you expose it. You've been so amazing, bringing the receipts all year, exposing everything. I mean, I don't. With two children and a wife and honestly, a job, I don't know how you guys do it, because I can barely bring myself to get on the phone with State Farm. But, like, I don't know how you do it, but I'm like, okay, we expose it and then what happens? And that's where it's the work. Is. Is it policy? Is it. Is it having people resign? Is it complete change in, like, regime that we have here? And it's. It's scary because I'm coming back to this community no matter what, bar none. But it. It begs the question, okay, what happens if it happens again, right? Who's in charge? What are they doing? What's happening?
- [12:36]
D
So why, you know, because I get. All day long, people tell me, move out of the state, move out of there. Why do you fight for that? Why do you, bar none? Why do you want to come back to the Palestinian.
- [12:44]
E
I'll tell you a couple reasons. Regardless of what infrastructure is left here or not, the community's always going to be the same. You see it trickling back in, and the people that are fighting and clawing their way to get back here, that is, I think, inimitable. I don't think you can find that anywhere else. That's number one. Number two, the geography and landscape and proximity to the ocean has not changed. The infrastructure has. It's going to be a bummer. It's going to be a really long haul back and it's going to be messy for several years, but that hasn't changed. And three is history. I'm born and raised here. I went to school on the East Coast. I went to college, I went to grad school. I dated people back there. My husband lives all over the world for work. He doesn't. We do not forget, for either tax nor work purposes, have to live in Los Angeles for any means. Nothing shoots in. He's in the film industry. Nothing films in LA anymore. We could live quite literally anywhere that was less expensive, tax wise. And we choose to live here because every time we go somewhere we say, and I'm sure it's subject to the fact that we grew up here, but he says, I've lived in New Zealand, Australia, Boston, New York, you know, England. Like there is nowhere like Pacific palaces. And I truly believe that. And I think that people that come here get a dose of that and they realize. I will say, I knew the second we lost what we lost, what we had lost. And I knew for a second I didn't take it for granted. And that I can say without a doubt, I never woke up and was like, oh, it's just another day in the Palisades. I woke up every day, like, pinching myself, like, how lucky am I that I might get to give my kids this same experience? So I never took that for granted. And I think you can't replicate that feeling. I've never had this inclination in any other city or place I've been, whether it's saving money on taxes or the disgusting, you know, leadership we have right now, I've never had that inclination in any other place I've been in the world and we've been a lot of places. And so I think that is why everyone's clawing to get back here.
- [14:57]
C
Your heart is here, your people is here, your community. I was saying, especially strangers in a different town, as much as I do love it and I'm from Colorado and I could probably be an amazing part.
- [15:08]
E
By the way, magical part of Colorado.
- [15:10]
C
Thank you. It is that heart. And I see that in my children actually, as much as my husband. And like, I could probably live most places and be happy, but, like, there is something here, that my family is meant to be here. And I feel like a lot of people feel that way. And that's why a lot of people don't leave places that they grew up.
- [15:30]
E
Yeah. And it's. And I think people that have come here too, even having not grown up here, and I. And I think growing up, I don't know if you experienced this, Spencer, but I would meet people in the workforce or wherever who would be like, wait, you're born and raised in la? Like, that's a unicorn. Like, we were some sort of. Like, we. Like everyone just comes to LA to do something. And I also look at LA as this way larger external thing of this pocket of this magical place that we grew up on the west side. But I think, yes, everyone has this inclination to go back to where they were raised. Maybe, or maybe some people are fleeing that. I just know that having known my husband since I was 9 years old, which is also very rare, that speaks to the community. It's not like we were high school sweethearts, but we were born and raised in the same town. We have the same values. We've gone away to school, jobs, whatever, come back, somehow found each other. And I think it speaks a lot to the town that we grew up in. And I think, you know, Heidi, you're from a small town, and whether you felt this pull to get back to there or not, or start your own amazing family and life here, like, you can understand the sense of, like, this community and probably understood that once you, you know, started being with Spencer, like, how amazing it was, this little, like, dose of this, like, family situation, what it feels like here and how it might be to raise a family with the man you're in love with here, you know?
- [16:58]
C
Right. I mean, we were filming on the Hills, and we had a $4,000 a month apartment paid for, and we live with Spencer's parents in the Palisades. I remember because it felt like home and it felt like a community. It felt like, oh, this is the next place I'm supposed to be and that I belong. And so I never really felt the pull to, like, be in my hometown. I felt like this was my new home. And then coming back today was so nice to be with people we actually knew and to, like, be in the community and to be with people we love. And cheers.
- [17:27]
E
Where you are now is great. Like, I think strong people, like, strong girls can do big things, right? Like, strong men can do big things. Like, I think you can make a community and you can make a home happy as long as your family's together. But it doesn't always feel like home. Right? Like, I. I can go anywhere and I will make sure my kids are happy, and I will. As long as my family's healthy, I can make that work. But I think there's a. A thing that pulls you and you just feel like some place is home or it's not. And I think that's what we're all fighting for.
- [18:00]
D
You know, we should also mention your husband's family. Also. His sister lost her house.
- [18:06]
E
Yeah. My mom, his sisters, his parents, his cousins in laws. So we lost, I think seven homes in total in our family.
- [18:18]
D
And everybody wants to come back.
- [18:19]
E
Everyone's coming back.
- [18:20]
A
Everyone's coming back.
- [18:21]
E
Every single person. So, yeah, every single person. It's a lot of loss, but it's also a lot to fight for.
- [18:28]
C
It's a lot of fight. I think that's what people don't realize too. Like, fighting is exhausting. And it's not the easy way. It's actually the hardest route, and it's the most important one.
- [18:37]
E
But, you know, like, every day I just say, like, every day, you know, six feet above ground is a win. You know, that sounds really, like, dark.
- [18:47]
C
I go to that every day.
- [18:48]
E
But it truly is like, every day's a miracle in some sense of the word. And, like, I don't think that if you're not. If you're not fighting for something. Like, we were listening to a podcast on the way here today, and I was like, listen, if you're not. Like, I'm like a shark. If I stomach stop swimming, I die. Like, I need forward motion. I need progress. I need something to fight for. I can look back on this last year and be like, it was traumatic. It was a lot of ptsd. It's terrible. Like, we. I want to talk about all the ways that we could have prevented it, but I need forward motion. And so for me, coming back here is like, if I need to be one of the first people back, I'm not. I don't think I'm going to be, but I'll be that person. I will be the person who's like, uber eats and groceries. Because I don't. There's not a lot of infrastructure. Like, that's fine. I want. I want, like, forward motion. And as long as I feel like that's happening, I feel like we have. We have a future here. You know, there needs to be.
- [19:43]
D
So Heidi, if we didn't have kids, I would be living on this dirt and I hate camping and I won't even camp. She's a camper. But I would post up just to make a point that I'm living on this dirt.
- [19:54]
E
Because they don't Airstream that.
- [19:56]
C
You know, we're thinking about it.
- [19:57]
D
I'm, you know, I already told my.
- [20:00]
E
Homeowners, like, you want me to drop an rv, I will. It's going to be a lot uglier than I was going to build, but we can go, we can do this all day, like coming back one way or another.
- [20:09]
D
Well, you know, we know we only had 10 minutes with you, but it was the best 10 minutes ever.
- [20:14]
E
I bet.
- [20:15]
D
So thank you so much, Nicole Diaco, Burgess. Love you guys so much.
- [20:21]
E
Legend.

- [21:45]
D
So Eric Soderbergh here, Palisade's legend. The day the fire started, he called me up and said can I help you guys? And he drove up here. He was smart enough to own a truck. We filled his truck with a bunch of diapers and kids clothes because we thought we'd be coming back to our house. And he drove them to my parents house down the street because the idea that my parents house would potentially burn was an impossibility. So one year later. Eric, I know you weren't planning a podcast. You better how you see?
- [22:17]
F
Oh yeah, good man. I'm very happy you're running from there. I think, you know, can do a lot for the city. It helps this city brightly. And here in the maize today just kind of made my day.
- [22:30]
D
What do you remember from one year ago?
- [22:33]
F
I remember coming up here, I remember you calling me to me like hey.
- [22:37]
D
You want to come up?
- [22:37]
F
We got to get some stuff out of my house because the fire and most of the video watching the fireplace and this is right here and there's rocks up there. And so we wanted to get a bunch of stuff out of your house of important things and bring them down to your mom's house in case his house burned down. Not expected him but he thinks it'd be. And so we did that and your dad I remember we're leaving and your dad was like no I'm gonna stay. I'm staying here. I'm gonna try to fight the fire with the homosexual on this house. This house. Not at all respecting the house down to the village. Now that house is on the bluffs. I mean he's sick. So brought all the supplies and whatever you put them in the back of a truck to the parents house.
- [23:33]
C
And all those heavy sweet potatoes that you put in there. I had a list by myself. The gunner with a T. He's right. We're crawling around trying to get your mom out of there. So everything brought in I had to pull out of that house alone. The two kids running wild.
- [23:50]
D
So you made more work for.
- [23:52]
C
No.
- [23:53]
D
But you, you did save your family house.
- [23:56]
E
Yes.
- [23:56]
D
With at one there's other houses you went to that you couldn't save.
- [24:00]
F
You have a video.
- [24:04]
D
He was going around the town to friends houses and if water would come out of their hose he would try to save it. But some you would literally video and I've seen the videos and he would show the hose no water was coming out and he's like sorry, I can't.
- [24:17]
B
Right.
- [24:18]
F
My parents house there was water so I was able to spray it down a couple times. And then I went on to my Robert and he was right down my street and there was a small fire right on the front porch, very small. And I tried to. I hooked up the hose and tried to turn on the hose and there was no water. So it was crazy. That house could have 100% been saved. Probably all the houses around it could have been saved. There was a tiny little fire on the front porch but there was no water.
- [24:49]
D
Like you videoed it. It's a little teeny. It looks like you. You can't comprehend this little fire with no water. That little fire just inches over and burns houses down. So this whole idea that the LADWP new so Karen Bass keeps saying that the water wouldn't have made a difference.
- [25:06]
F
It is so it's mind boggling insane. They're just trying to cover their asses, you know.
- [25:14]
E
Yeah.
- [25:14]
D
Eric is actually he was ahead of the entire social media influencer campaign for saving Los Angeles. I want to say now it's like 12 years ago you had an account showing all the drug Addicts smoking fentanyl on the street. And you were posting it got shut down. And it got shut down. But that was before anyone was doing it. They were before anyone. And you were just doing that as a community person going, what is going on around here? So I appreciate you because way before I feel like I had to step up, you were out there risking just like Joey that goes to skid row and risk his safety going up to these people, you know, doing these horrible things to dogs. You were risking your safety going to these drug addict drug dealers and be like, get out of here.
- [26:01]
F
It happened this morning. I. I don't think. I don't know if you watched the video I sent you this morning, but we'll watch it later. But I went out right down the street from my apartment in, in Marina Del Rey, there's an encampment that's been there for four months. And it's like the nastiest. It's on the sidewalk, covering the whole sidewalk. But the stuff that's dripping out of the encampment is. I can't even say what it is. It is horrific. And so I went there this morning and there were some, Some. Some people from USC there. I think there were some advocacy from usc. And I tried to talk to them in some. Some thug kept getting in my face, not letting me talk to them. I think he was the dude that sold the drugs in the encampment. And I'll send you the video. It's wild.
- [26:53]
A
And.
- [26:55]
F
He wouldn't let. This thug, wouldn't let me talk to him. He tried fighting me. And all we wanted to do was know why nothing's getting done with this encampment. Right. We've called three. One one or two One. One. I've called them dozens of times, called LAPD Watch command. And it's interesting because that's an LAPD area right there. But also Brentwood's LAPD too, you know, and why LAPD lets encampments be in some neighborhoods. And let's say that encampment tried to pop up on 2016 San Vicente. It would be taken down within five minutes. Five minutes. But it's allowed to be over there on Washington. And it's just weird that, like, it's. It's crazy what's going on. And I got a. I got a really good interview with the cops today that I'll show you too. And they say that their, Their hands are completely tied. Completely tied. You're asking why they can't. Why they can't take out their citation Book and write citations. Why don't they do that? And he kept coming up with all these excuses. It was wild, dude. It's just so twisted, dude. Everything around here is so twisted. Like you said, if you try to do normal business. What was, what was it we said? Trying to do normal business in LA is a death sentence.
- [28:18]
D
No, I mean it is.
- [28:20]
F
It is.
- [28:21]
C
I would like to say that you were actually protecting the community long before you have a ditz mob and a community community. And as a teenager like you and you have been such a strong member of this community. You guys were young. This, you as you know, the, the depth of the impact is much more. It's not just your current. Almost after your childhood.
- [28:42]
F
Absolutely. It's hard to watch, man. It's hard to see what's happening.
- [28:46]
D
Not to mention what Heidi's saying is he's the black belt that runs the martial arts academy for most of the kids. This house is burned down.
- [28:53]
E
Right.
- [28:54]
D
And you had an academy in the Palisades that burned down. And just what is it like being, you know, for these kids that have lost their whole identity of their world? What has that experience been as a dude?

It's hard. It's hard seeing that I probably have 12 families whose houses burned down and they're, I mean those are, these are kids Will with the, you know, three bedroom houses that are now in. Sharing bedrooms with their parents in Santa Monica, which is fine. You know, I mean at least they have a roof over their head. But it's, it's a huge, you know, it's a huge relocation issue and we have to switch schools. I think it really messes them up, to be honest.
- [29:41]
E
Right.
- [29:41]
D
Yeah.
- [29:42]
F
Very tough, very tough to watch.
- [29:44]
D
And then for being somebody who, you know, because you're one of the real few people, you know, it's a handful of people. You're a real sig palaces. Like what did the Palisades embody for you as an experience? A community that you are so concerned about making sure we get it back.
- [30:04]
F
Well, it's always been such a beautiful place in Kung Lake. It's a place where you can, you know, you can, you can send your kid up to the market three, four miles away, your kids can walk to town and know you don't have to worry about anything happening to them. And everybody works out for each other and it's just a very special place like that. It's a very tight knit community. And now it's kind of gone. I hope we get it back. You know, it's.
- [30:36]
E
Yeah.
- [30:37]
F
Growing up here with you was really special. You know, we had some really good times and yeah, some very good memories. So, yeah, hopefully, hopefully we can fix this.

And here we are to close out this legendary day in the history of our lives. We have one of our closest friends, Brandon from Georgia. Thank you. Obviously, Courtney, your significant other couldn't be here today. We love Courtney. She's handling the family. But Brandon heard what was happening today and he booked a flight. I want to say this morning, maybe last night this morning.
- [33:40]
H
Definitely less than 12 hours.
- [33:42]
E
Yeah.
- [33:43]
D
And flew out to be here with us. And from the second our house burned down, him and his wife Courtney put together a GoFundMe that helped us so much when there was nothing we had. And they were responsible for that.
- [33:58]
C
Amazon Wishlist.
- [33:59]
D
They were helping with Amazon Wishlist for my mom. Courtney was on the phone. My mom. So just want to thank you so much for being such a light in this journey. You flew out here the week our house burned down and booked the fanciest hotel in California and treated us to, you know, nice dinners at Lucky's, and we had margaritas with the most legendary bartender, Jared, who you brought here in our dirt lot today. Thank you, Jared, for being here.
- [34:29]
C
So you brought such support and escapism for us and a sense of normalcy, and we love you and your wife, and thank you so much for being such great friends and so positive and so kind and giving me a pair of golden goose shoes when I was so upset that I had lost all mine. So we love you and thank you for coming and continuing to be such a support to us and our family, and we really value our friendship with you.
- [35:00]
H
This is the third time Hottie's made me cry today.
- [35:04]
D
Thanks a lot, God.
- [35:06]
H
We appreciate you guys being such amazing people. I wouldn't miss this for the world.
- [35:10]
C
Thank you.
- [35:11]
D
Well, Brandon, from being an outsider, seeing what has happened to the Palisades and this year, you know, because we're so deep in it, what does it look like from Georgia?
- [35:25]
H
I think you have brought so much attention to this entire thing. You've brought so much awareness. I think you've really built a family everywhere, not just in the Palisades, not just California, but everywhere, even Georgia. I mean, you have people everywhere, all across the country rallying behind you because you're so passionate about what's going on here.
- [35:50]
D
Didn't you just say somebody in Georgia just came up to you, like, this week?
- [35:54]
H
Yeah. Literally.
- [35:54]
A
Yeah.
- [35:55]
D
Shout out to that person sitting in.
- [35:57]
H
A restaurant in Longhorn in Noonan, Georgia.
- [36:00]
D
So we love everybody all over the country. Because that's the thing, you know, like the New York Times journalists, when they were trying to take down everything that I was doing, they're like, well, it's not even people from California. I'm like, exactly. There's people from all over the country that are seeing what this community, what our family, what my parents are going through, and they want to help, they want to support, they want to get the truth out. So, you know, that's how they try to like almost demean you by being.
- [36:29]
A
Like, well, it's not even California.
- [36:30]
D
It's like, no, this is America. This is. We're all Americans. So thank you for being an American that pumps me up all the time, stays so positive. And really we just wanted to end it with an a note to like of gratitude. Gratitude people like Brandon that make horrible situations, you can just get through them. So we love you so much.
- [36:54]
C
Yes, absolutely. And we just want to say thank you to every person who has streamed my music, has supported us, continues to send us so much love because we do put on a positive brave face. But this has been a really hard dig deep year and you know, God can do great works in the toughest of times. But it has been that really tough time, a really tough year for us. So just want to thank you from the depths of our heart for your continual support and love. And we are fighting to make a change and Spencer will continue to fight to make a change. And God can use all things for good. And we're, we're ready for that. Good. And, and we're ready for that next chapter.
- [37:40]
D
On that note, thank you for listening to the podcast, liking it and hitting it with five stars.
- [37:47]
C
Make sure you pre order Spencer's book. It is coming out.
- [37:51]
D
Speaking of that book because Karen Bass, the current trash, despicable mayor of Los Angeles, yesterday in an interview said that she thought it was despicable that people were using the fire to profit off book sales. Let's be clear, Mayor Karen Bass. I could sell 3 million books and I don't get my house you let burn down. So there's no profiteering off of our house burn down. Also, the book deal with my incredible publisher Simon and Schuster and Gallery books, that came after Heidi's music became top Billboard. They were so impressed with that journey. I had never even said your name when I got my book deal. So nice try. The only one profiting off the fire victims is you with your photo ops and your fees that you're using to try to take your broke city that you burn all of our money down. You are the profiteer, so. Yes.
- [38:49]
C
So buy Spencer's book, the guy you loved. Yes. And we're going on a book tour, so hopefully we'll see you in Jersey and all the places.
- [38:58]
D
So check out the Barnes and Noble at the Grove.
- [39:01]
C
That's right. Come see your future mayor at Barnes and Noble and get your book signed.
- [39:06]
D
Well, thanks again, Brandon.

C
Thank you.
